And thatвЂ™s something that a lot of people face.ДЄnd although there are plenty of solutions out there, I think what I have found is that most, especially small businesses, even individual proprietors face is that they donвЂ™t want that kind of clunky, big time solution that manages everything. And this is a process вЂ“ youвЂ™re moving appointments all the time and then youвЂ™re reminding clients and then maybe somebody cancels, they want to reschedule. They schedule appointments with clients and then they want to send a reminder to that client of their pending appointment. So, letвЂ™s take an example that I think a lot of different professionals face.

So, could you maybe give us an example of sort of other things that your typical professional might appreciate having automated in their life, that maybe they didnвЂ™t even think they would need or want automated in their life? In terms of getting some online forms filled out all the faster in a custom application, so thatвЂ™s pretty cool. And you did a heck of a job, so thank you for that. This part of you that loves to optimize the snot out of every little thing, but I sought you out because I was looking for a computer solution in which I had to conduct a little task that takes maybe 30 seconds.вЂќ But I have to do it hundreds of times a year, and I thought thatвЂ™s worth a few hundred bucks to just get that solved and have those minutes of my life back. Part of me thought, вЂњOh Pete, you just need to chill out. And thatвЂ™s kind of how I found you, wasвЂ¦ ItвЂ™s funny. So it just totally spans the gamut between everything in between, yeah. We have a platform going right now with UCLA to basically bring organic chemistry to college students all around the country and get them inspired and motivated to do that. Because the types of problems I work on вЂ“ it could be anything from fixing a pop-up message on someoneвЂ™s computer. Sometimes I have worked on enterprise-level solutions, but typically for large clients but a small division within that large client, so it ends up kind of feeling more again like a small company. So the stuff I do pretty much spans the gamut, I would say, but I prefer to work on really kind of challenging and complex and nuanced problems, which are I would say most of the time, maybe up to the small or even medium-sized business level. Could you speak a bit about that?ДЄbsolutely.

And so now, what are the sorts of computer problems that your company is tackling here? ItвЂ™s not like your big old enterprise platform integrations for companies, but itвЂ™s rather unique and cool вЂ“ as far as I know, although IвЂ™m not in the know вЂ“ kind of niche that youвЂ™re filling when it comes to what you produce with custom software and such. Yeah, it feels infused with some power when you put it that way. I mean hemoglobin requires iron to bring oxygen into our body, so itвЂ™s kind of got a number of really powerful purposes in our world and I thought it was a great choice for a name. ItвЂ™s a very ubiquitous metal, itвЂ™s used in the manufacture of steel and itвЂ™s also one of the metals that allows us to even breathe. So the 26th element is iron, and the story for why I chose it goes back a bit, but I mean iron is a really cool element. So Element 26 is sort of an allusion there to the periodic table. And so IвЂ™m just so curious вЂ“ Element 26 вЂ“ what does that mean, as the name of your company? But thereвЂ™s totally a lot of overlap for me in that way in terms of the space in my brain, because at work I solve really complex puzzles, and I love the same in the computer side of things as well.

In fact I found computers a lot earlier than I found chemistry.

And so itвЂ™s really just another expression for me of how to do it.

I just love problem solving and puzzles вЂ“ I always have since I was a little kid. So IвЂ™m definitely a busy guy, youвЂ™ve got that right. Are there some synergies in your brain, or whatвЂ™s going on? Can you tell us, how does that even work in real life, that you can do both these things. With a PhD in organic chemistry, which is notoriously one of the hardest classes people hate in college, and youвЂ™re running a computer consulting company, which has some sophisticated little coding projects and stuff called Element 26. Well, your credentials are so fascinating, it absolutely gives the impression that youвЂ™re a super genius.
